I can't just see this happen. {rIn} doesn't mean "finish 
(something)". It means "be finished". It is not transitive. 
Also, even if it were transitive, your phrasing doesn't really 
convey what you seek. I want to try:

nom Qu' vIta'taH 'ach Qu' chu' vISuqbogh law' law' Qu' vIta'bogh 
law' puS.

Yuck. Maybe it's better as:

batlh Qu'meywIj vIta'taH 'ach reH ghurtaH Qu'mey vIta'nISbogh 
mI'.

Thanks, I figured someone would jump on this one!

One question, how can one easily tell a transitive form an intransitive verb?
TKD does not indicate vt vs. vi.
